For the Love of Our Country

Some people do not understand what we, as soldiers, go through........

Leaving Iraq, soon I will be

Once again united with my family

Leaving behind a certain war

Through the Brigade, a hole it tore

Friends and companions, we had soldiers lost

Never to be forgotten, they paid the ultimate cost

On the road many have died

For the greater fight to keep this country alive

And in the defense of our mother homeland

It is all for the US of A in the end

For the love of our country we are here

Enduring the pain and shedding the tears

We are not just fighting someone else’s fight

It is not just about proving who is right

Many people say we need to leave this place

Pull out and give in without haste

But what they don’t see is the good we have done

The building of schools, roads and a better future to come

No matter how hard it may seem

We are needed here to the utmost extreme

A great sacrifice for the even greater good

The pros out weigh the cons ten to one

From the ground up, we are rebuilding Iraq

For helping those less fortunate, we have a knack

Training their soldiers, police and politicians

Once they have learned, we can leave with submission

Until that day comes, we must uphold our duty

As an American Soldier for the love of our country
